At Intervac we have homes available for exchange all round the world. The big advantage for a family is that the only cost is the cost of travel and, for example, you can go all over Europe by train. The way it works is that you pay an annual fee for access to the database and that is all. You arrange the swap, the time the dates etc and that is it. Try us at www.intervac.co.uk.
